Price Target:
AU$0.42
▼(-1.86% Downside)
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (declining revenue, worsening losses, and sustained cash burn), partially offset by strong technical momentum (price above major moving averages with positive MACD). Valuation is also a headwind because losses produce a negative P/E and no dividend yield is available in the data.
Positive Factors
Debt-free balance sheet & positive equity
Zero reported debt reduces refinancing and interest-rate risk and gives management optionality to fund operations or invest without immediate borrowing. Returning to positive equity signals balance-sheet repair, improving long-term financial resilience despite operating losses.
Asset base expanded in 2025
A larger asset base can provide working capital, collateral for financing, or resources to support product investment and scaling. This structural increase enhances the company's ability to absorb shocks and execute strategic initiatives if asset quality and deployment remain disciplined.
Year-over-year free cash flow improvement
An improving free cash flow trend is a meaningful signal that operations may be moving toward self-sustainability. If the improvement persists, it reduces dependence on external funding, lengthens runway, and supports investment in product development or customer acquisition.
Negative Factors
Material recent revenue decline
A sharp revenue drop undermines revenue stability and weakens scale economics; it compresses the base over which fixed costs are absorbed and limits ability to invest in growth. Sustained top-line declines make recovery harder and increase financing needs.
Persistent negative operating and free cash flow
Consistent cash burn forces reliance on external capital or asset draws, creating dilution and execution risk. Ongoing negative OCF/FCF erodes runway, constrains strategic flexibility, and pressures management to prioritize liquidity over long-term investments.
Deteriorating profitability; deeply negative gross profit
Negative gross profit indicates core unit economics are currently unprofitable, limiting scalability even if revenue recovers. Widening net losses degrade returns on equity and make it harder to achieve sustainable margins without significant business-model or pricing changes.

RocketBoots Ltd. Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financial fundamentals are weak: revenue declined materially most recently and profitability deteriorated with deeply negative gross profit and wider losses. Cash flow is a major drag with consistently negative operating and free cash flow, implying ongoing cash burn. The main offset is a cleaner balance sheet with no debt and a return to positive equity in 2025, but losses continue to pressure returns.
Income Statement
18
Very Negative
Revenue has been volatile and is down materially most recently (2025 revenue declined ~28% YoY after modest growth in 2024). Profitability is weak and deteriorated in 2025, with gross profit turning deeply negative and losses widening (net margin roughly -6.8% in 2025 vs. ~-4.0% in 2024). The main positive is that losses were smaller in earlier years (2020–2022) than the more recent period, but the overall trajectory shows limited operating leverage and inconsistent top-line momentum.
Balance Sheet
44
Neutral
The company reports zero total debt in recent years (2021–2025), which reduces refinancing and interest-rate risk. Equity has improved from negative levels in 2024 to positive in 2025, indicating balance-sheet repair; however, returns on equity remain poor due to ongoing losses (notably negative in 2025 and 2023). Total assets expanded sharply in 2025 versus 2024, which helps financial flexibility, but persistent losses remain a key risk to sustaining equity over time.
Cash Flow
20
Very Negative
Cash generation remains pressured: operating cash flow and free cash flow are negative across all periods shown (2020–2025), with a sizable outflow in 2025. While free cash flow improved year-over-year in 2025 (positive growth rate) and free cash flow tracks net loss closely, the business is still consuming cash rather than funding itself internally. The continued reliance on external funding (or cash reserves) is the main weakness.
